New six-figure beer, gin and gaming hall set to open in central Leeds this Spring

Concept Taverns’ latest city centre venue promises a selection of over 100 gins, over 20 draught lines including craft and world beers, seven pool tables, shuffleboard and Sky sports and BT sports.

Pinnacle Beer & Gin Hall is heading to Leeds’ financial district just in time for summer and will reside in the venue previously occupied by Roxy Lanes, which is currently undergoing a “dramatic” £250k transformation.

Spanning 7,000 sq ft, the spacious bar is the newest addition to the Concept Taverns portfolio and takes its name from the iconic Pinnacle Building it resides in, which was the tallest building in central Leeds when it opened back in 1973.

The refurbishment is being carried out by Yorkshire Project Design and Build, who have been responsible for several of the most recent Concept Taverns projects including Market Square Tavern in Bingley and Granville’s Beer & Gin House in Horsforth. The group has already enjoyed success in central Leeds with the popular Parkside Tavern.

Boasting one of the city’s “most diverse” range of drinks, Pinnacle Beer & Gin Hall will offer guests 20 plus local and international beers on draught and over 100 different gins catering to all tastes, from Monkey 47 to Plymouth. Draught ales will include everything from “local heroes” Kirkstall Brewery to Beavertown’s best selling Neck Oil.

This will be complemented by an inspired cocktail menu, spanning classic, signature and sparkling options. The venue is well-equipped to cater to sports fans, with all major Sky and BT events screened across several HD screens, just in time for a summer of sport in preparation for this year’s winter world cup.

The venue, which has been closed since January, is creating 20 plus jobs and is planning its grand reopening for Thursday May 19.

Managing director Ben Warren said: “After opening five new venues in the past year, we feel that Pinnacle Beer & Gin Hall is the tip of the iceberg for Concept Taverns. Combining all the best things we have learned in the city and surrounding areas, we feel our newest venue offers something special to Leeds with a truly unique hangout space for everyone to enjoy.”

“Our handpicked selection of incredible beers, ales and gins from some of today’s most beloved providers has proven to be a winning formula across each of our bars, and the food, gaming and prime location of Pinnacle only adds to this. We look forward to welcoming our first guests just in time for summer.”
